Pressurized Solvent Extraction

fast PSE

fast PSE has been developed in order to take the accelerated solvent extraction process one step further. fast PSE parallel extractions provide fast and efficient solvent extractions with minimal solvent waste - 6 times faster than serial extractors.

Unique features of the fast PSE:

• Fast
  Load the sample, choose a method, press run. Perform other tasks while the fast PSE is running. Choose a method directly from the system menu or your PC.
  
  
• Adaptable
  Use the solvents you already work with fast PSE adapts to US EPA solvent extraction techniques. Use immediately with EPA Method 3545.
  
  
• Simple computer interfacing
  Run the fast PSE from your PC as easily as from the front panel and be capable of data logging and method storage. Save time and increase production.
  
  
• Time saving
  
  • spend less time preparing samples and setting-up or developing methods
  • immediately increase throughput 6-fold!
  
  
• Parallel processing
  Process SIX samples at a time! Extraction vessels come in 3 sizes: 11mL, 22mL, and 33mL. The vessels feature a large interior diameter for filling ease.
  
  
• Safe
  The fast PSE features an audible alarm and automatic shut-down, as well as built-in sensors to detect:
  • leaky fittings
  • unvented pressure
  • absence of extraction vessel or collection vial
  
  
• Save money with the fast PSE
  
  • dramatically reduce solvent use
  • less solvent waste
  • concentrated extract for simplified post extraction processes
